Welcome to Lighthouse Tool Company
Lighthouse Tool Company was created to develop and deliver tools to industry-specific markets, including the FlangeKing® tool, our flagship product. Our team imagined, along with the original inventor, an industrial tool that protected workers’ fingers from getting pinched while saving money and time in a petrochemical or any process facility. FlangeKing® was born to meet this need and is currently working hard around the United States.
Today, after years of engineering and testing, the FlangeKing® tool is manufactured in the United States and readily available to the men and women working in the petrochemical field. The first Lighthouse tool to reach the major market, FlangeKing® meets our stringent standards for quality and safety. These standards are applied to all tools currently in development. The goal is to deliver tools that make life easier, safer and better for the hard working men and women of the world.
